A Citizen's Reflections on Race, Violence and Power
Truthout contributor Cynthia Boaz says, "Because there has been no significant attempt to deal with the history of slavery in this country, it is as though our collective mind has been asked to exist in a state of cognitive dissonance. There are no national monuments in the US to former slaves, although they exist for almost every other group who has sacrificed for the 'vital interests' of the nation. As a country, we prefer to pretend that slavery never happened, or that it existed too long ago to be relevant to our lives today."
